Please don't encourage users to use MELPA Stable. There's already
enough users using it under false pretenses, thinking it's like MELPA's
version of Debian Stable, when it's actually more like Debian oldstable
if it were used together with Debian current-stable backports--IOW an
often-outdated set of packages mixed with some newer ones in unexpected,
sometimes incompatible ways.
